and Prices Steady in Most Lines.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb 3.
Trade, which dragged little with the coming
in of the month begins again to improve, and
with fair weather and solid roads, would soon
reach respectable proportions. The railroads
are still rushed with business, and manufactur-
ers were never more busy. which means that
business generally is to be good as these are es-
sential conditions With the dry goods men.
trade is rather quiet, but prices are firm and
tend to higher figures as soon as the spring trade
fairly sets in. The wool market is in strong no
sition and the market active The Boston jour
nal says of wool: ''The tone of the wool market
has been further strengthened by the firm and
active opening of the public auction sales at
London. Firm holders here have become firmer.
and as there have been no really weak holders it
stands to reason that the market is in a better
position than ever before in the history of the
trade" Grocers are fairly busy, the soft weather
of day or two past interfering somewhat
with business; but this trouble, of course is but
temporary. Contrary to expectations. the sugar
market has not been seriously affected. so far as
prices are concerned, by the strikes in the East
How soon it will be affected should the strike
continue is a problem which few days will
solve. The coffee market is barely steady; the
bulls have not been able to pay advance prices
OF late, and merchants are buying cautiously
lest there be decline in the market Canned
goods are moving out well; prices firm. The
provision market retains it's strong tone and
dealers talking better prices in the near
future still. The produce men report trade as
better the last day or two. Apples are in good
demand at quotations Potatoes move little
sluggishly. Cabbage is firm and scarce Eggs
are on the downward turn, and prices are liable
to tumble lively in the next few DAYS if the
weather is of the character of some days past

WASHINGTON, October 20th.-The CORE
spondence between the Department of JUS
tice and its officers in Alaska, in regard to
the release of the British vessels seized dur
ing the summer of 1856, for alleged viola
ton of the seal-ishery laws, was made
public to-day. Following is the text of the
telegram directing the release:

Judge lafayette DGlpSOn and H. ID Ball United
States Attorneys, 81 kd, alaska. am directed by

ton Atkins, u. s. Marshal at Sitka, dated
September 90 1887 in which he acknowl-
edged lie receipt of the above telegram, but
says it was considered a fraudulent dis
patch, Notwithstanding which belief, how
ever, Judge Dawson had DELAYED further
proceedings in the cases and had written to
the Department for further instructions.
Judge Dawson's letter has not been re-
ceived at the Department. Under date of
October II, 1887, the Attorney General
sent telegram to Marshal Atkins at Sitka,
granting him leave of absence to go to San
Francisco for the purpose of selling about
1000 fur skins which were condemned and
ordered sold by the Court in Alaska last
year, and which are now reported as being
in perishable condition. The telegram
concluded as follows
Let the vessels Carolina. Onward and Thorn

hINERAL LANDS.
Railroads Ask a Modification OF a Very
Onerous Ruling.


Onerous Ruling.
lCopsuig, 1857, by hs California Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, October 2oth.-GSpecial. /
Secretary Lamar to-day heard arguments
by representatives of the various railroads
IN favor OF review of his decision rendered
some time since, changing the method of
procedure by railroads in excluding mineral
lands from their selections. Some months
ago Commissioner Sparks asked the Secre-
tary to change his regulations so that here
after railroads would be compelled to file
an affidavit as comprehensive as that of the
pre-empt1on entryman-that none of the
lands selected were mineral and that ac-
tual survey and personal investigation had
proven this.
The Central Pacific road, by its counsel,
showed letter asserting that it would re-
quire aftidavits from three-quarters of the
citizens of Utah. Nevada and California, in
which the road had selected some 400 600
acres OF land.
The Secretary, however, acceded to the
Commissioners request, and changed the
regulations so as to compel this sort of
affidavit from the roads The decision was
almost Immediately withdrawn, however,
to allow the railroads to argue the case, and
this was done to-day.
The argument tended to show that the
mineral lands through which all land grant
roads run are very extensive, and that q
personal examination of every tract which
would be necessary under the pre-en,ption
affidavit, weuld be impossible. The notes
OF the Surveyor General must be depended
upon, and as United States official his re-
ports ought to be satisfactory to the Coy
ernment.
One case was taken under adyisemept

CHICAGO, October 2oth.-James Hart, who
is known by baseball men wherever ball
club has an existence, is in Chicago girling
up his lons and getting ready for the big
gest winter exploiting expedition in the
history of the game. Jim Hart is prob
ably the most modest man who ever sur

convoy.
Chicago will be represented by Pfefier,

tinent, playing their first game in Frisco
on November Goth.
The Phillies make their debut under
Hart's management at Cincinnati, where
they play on Wednesday and Thursday of

After talking some time he told her the
hour was getting late, took her by the hand
and accompanied her to the door of her
room, when suddenly she pointed a re-

But the powder burned his forehead. He
caught her round the body, when she fired

shoulder. He then: brew her On the floor,
when she fired third shot before she was
